Q. Solve for yy.\newline8=y8-8 = |y| - 8\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newliney=y = _____ or y=y = _____
  1. Understand and Isolate Absolute Value: Understand the equation and isolate the absolute value.\newlineWe have the equation 8=y8−8 = |y| − 8. To isolate the absolute value, we need to move the 8-8 from the right side to the left side by adding 88 to both sides of the equation.\newline8+8=y8+8-8 + 8 = |y| − 8 + 8\newline0=y0 = |y|
  2. Determine Values of yy: Determine the values of yy that satisfy the absolute value.\newlineSince y=0|y| = 0, we know that the only number whose absolute value is 00 is 00 itself. Therefore, yy must be 00.\newliney=0y = 0
